How Cleansing Creams Work
"Absorbent creams" typically refer to cleansing products containing clay or charcoal powder, which remove surface oil from pores through adsorption. These products are like miniature vacuum cleaners:
Clay component: Absorbs excess sebum like a sponge absorbing water
Charcoal powder structure: Its porous nature allows it to adhere to dirt particles
Soft bead friction: Physically removes dead skin cells
Actual Effect Evaluation
Three phenomena may be observed when using these products:
Immediate effect: Skin feels smooth after washing due to the removal of surface oil.
Visual improvement: Blackheads may temporarily lighten, but are not completely removed.
Continued use: Some users report a slower rate of sebum secretion.
